I have the tendency of doing this, so I guess you can say my avi name fits lol. With the new year, I find myself thinking over
prior years. Events that formed who I am today. I try not to live in the past, but if we forget where we come from, we lose who we are.

For forgotten closet this furniture set put me in such a mood today. Remembering the past, both my own and appreciating the pretty things
we have from generations before us. I hope ya’ll enjoy it, as well as this song from an artist who’s style I chose to emulate in terms of my look.

For newcomers to my blog, please bear in mind that I generally do a lot of editing to my pics.
The highlighting and shadows are not typical of what you would see in sl, though I do like to leave things as true
to the raw images as possible while still adding my bit of photoshop bumbling into it all. Thus far yall seem to like it so I
keep plugging away. I think from now on along with the finished post’s shot that I include here on the blog, I’ll also upload the
raw snapshots into my flickr for those of you would would like to see the unedited versions. Enjoy ^.^!

I know the holiday is done and over with for some of you, a lot of you though are just getting ready to celebrate the new year.
Please remember, be safe, choose wisely. Have lots of fun, and keep cab money if you’re going out!!!
Here’s my last share of the year, see yall in ’13.

my significant other says I’m pmsing I say I’m less receptive to bullshit right now.
In light of my spicy attitude I went with what (hopefully) looks like a kickass bitchtastic succubus.
❤ me some maneater hooka boots.

Those of you that know me personally know I’m a fiesty lil Rican from NYC. Yes, I identify as an American (because.. well der we are.) but there is a certain orgullo that comes with the territory of being latina. I am proud of my heritage, where we come from and where we still have yet to venture. Because of this, and some might not agree with me but it is what it is, I enjoy checking out creators I can identify with. Think of it as supporting your favorite team, not just because they’re good at what they do, but because damnit that’s the hometeam! I like to familiarize myself with folks, even if from a distance, because well.. if I’m gonna advertise your brand on here or spend my money in your store I wanna know it’s going to someone who will value me and any of my readers. This designer I’m showing today have a friend or two in common distantly and I’ve always heard good things about her. Once while filming a project she took time out of her day to help me find something suitable, not knowing me from a hole in the wall. Que Bella is spanish for “how beautiful” and Issybella Quintessa from my dealings with her not only makes a girl look beautiful(ly slutty) but is an actual helpful content creator. That to me, is a kind of beauty in sl that deserves attention. Not to mention she’s feckin delicious looking. <.< On to the post!

ps.. a million <3’s to Teshan from slexyfashionista for taking some time to go over photoshop pointers with me.
I truly enjoy and admire her work so go check her out if you aren’t familiar already!!

Here’s to coquito, and pasteles. Weekends at grandpa’s house in preparation of the holidays, and everything the season means to all of you.
Oversized horrendous themed sweaters that make us giggle but damn if they aren’t hella warm and cinnamon smelling.

Warning. This post will be lengthy. if you don’t wanna read a rant, keep scrolling.

Let me start off by saying the kind of copying I’m talking about here is not copybotting. I’m talking about, when I get a new hair and a friend say that they love it.
Or when you get that new accessory that came out in your favorite store.. yanno the one everyone else on the grid shops at? Let me see a show of hands of anyone who has had or wears now a skin by Redgrave, Al Vulo, Belleza, LAQ, or Glam Affair. I don’t get this attitude I see a lot, especially of where a blogger’s style is mimicked or copied. You do know that is part of the job description right? Bloggers, in essence, are the style consultants of sl. If you don’t want your ideas shared you pretty much have 3 options. Don’t share the details of what you got and where, don’t spotlight your own personal preferred style, or stop blogging. Simply.

Let me go on to tell you just how much I am like the rest of you. I’m a fucking geek for the cute stuff. Pretty hairs, boobs, plushies, breedable pets (both human and prim.) I am a submissive, a Mistress, a wife, a mother, a child, a Tiny Empires Queen that obsesses over a game within a game. I am a minority of mixed ethnicity, with an identity crisis that sl tweaks the shit out of. You might see me now in a beautiful mocha tone with an urban sort of look, or in an hour as a sterotypical barbie. I can go from that to fat assed mooslut in 20 seconds flat. Why? Because SL offers versatility, and because I find inspiration all of the time all around me.

How do I handle when I see a friend that resembles a look that was a favorite of mine? I smile with pride, because it’s a damned compliment. Maybe it’s just because I’m humble and by no means a slebrity. Heaven forbid I ever get that big headed. ~ Queenie Moo/Jynxxd Birdy.
